#56: Star Wars: Mysteries of the Jedi - Dowsett & Last

Mysteries of the Jedi is a dynamic visual guide that brings the Star Wars
galaxy to life for a new generation of Star Wars fans. In it, younger
readers will meet all the Jedi heroes from Anakin to Yoda, understand
what it takes to become a Jedi, find out how to wield a lightsaber,
discover the secrets of the Force, examine the tools of the Jedi trade,
and more!
Lively test and bold, kid-friendly design
provide a new approach to the much-loved characters and themes of the
Classic and Prequel Trilogies. Mysteries of the Jedi uncovers the mysteries of the Jedi Order, the Force, and the dark powers that threaten them, for children aged 7 and up.

I think this is one of the best books that has references to all of the movies made in a series. It covers the newest and the oldest, and puts it in a format that makes more sense than if you watched the movies in sequence.

The best part is, being a Star Wars fan, you actually learn information you may not have known previously. An example, I have seen all the films, but had no idea what a valuable, strong and important character Mace, (Samuel L. Jackson), was. Then I read this book, and it tells you all about his powers, and why he is so very important. Things you just don't catch or even get told in the movies.

So believe when I say, it may be a book geared for kids, but it's the adult who watched the original over 20 years ago that will really love this one!

5/5

REVIEW:Such great animation!There was always something going on in this movie. Even though it was a story I have seen played out a million times and a million different ways, they all are different too. This had more of a story. It was very magical and is definitely fun for the whole family.Want to point out, Max, the dog, stole the show for me. He is so adorable, even if animation. Such a good dog.This is one of those Christmas movies that you really can enjoy all year round. It has enough laughs, fun and morals to be played anytime. Plus there is nothing wrong with Christmas cheer in February.

REVIEW:A superbly made movie!!Seriously, the scenes were pretty phenomenal. It made for some pretty intense moments along the way. The space scenes were incredible. I loved how much real footage they used as well.I thought I knew a lot about the moon landing of '69, though it was 8 years before my time. Even thought I knew a far amount about Neil Armstrong, but after watching this film, I realize I knew nothing at all. Had no idea he was up in the atmosphere so many times before the famous landing, but alas, he was. It really was a wonderful depiction of such an iconic event.I also didn't know he had suffered such loss. It seemed …
